Just checking out the stats and thought this was another great indication of the Rams offense hitting on all cylinders. Hekker is averaging only 1.75 punts a game. In 2015 he had 96 punts and in 2016 he had 98 punts. The 2016 average punt per game was 6.125. So in 4 games he has punted only one more time than he averaged in every game in 2016. The Rams offense has come a long way in a short time.

Hekker looked pretty good kicking off, so to eliminate some of the strain on Zuerlein (when he comes back) it might be good to let Hekker kick off until post season...Just a thought.

Remember this game:



The punt at 1:00 traveled about 83 yards in the air.

The Never-Punters: Los Angeles Rams
By contrast, the Rams almost never punt (which is fitting, because L.A. also differs from Cleveland in virtually every other way)—just seven times all season. The next-lowest teams (the Bengals, Saints, and Chiefs) have all notched 13 punts.

This is a product of the Rams offense’s incredible efficiency. L.A. has the most yards in the league, the most yards per play, and the second-most points. That all adds up to the league’s eighth-most efficient offense since at least 1986, by DVOA. You probably don’t need the watchability rankings to tell you this, but the Rams are really, really good.
